GOVERNMENT OF BALUCHISTAN vs AMIR JAN And Other
This matter concerns a petition for leave to appeal before the Supreme Court of Pakistan regarding the entitlement of the respondents to be absorbed into the Secretariat Ministerial Service with effect from July 1, 1970. The core legal question presented for consideration is whether the respondents were legally entitled to such absorption, specifically in light of the fact that they were not absorbed into the Secretariat at the time of the formation of the Province of Baluchistan. The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal, thereby allowing the petitions. The Court directed that the appeals be heard together on the same record, while granting the parties liberty to file additional documents if necessary. The judgment establishes the procedural path for determining the merits of the respondents' claims regarding their service status and absorption rights following the administrative reorganization of the province.
- Are respondents entitled to absorption in the Secretariat Ministerial Service with effect from July 1, 1970, if they were not absorbed at the time of the formation of the Province of Baluchistan?
